New striking strokes
25 May 2023
Last weekend Robert Smith and his Goth orchestra THE CURE started their
North American tour. They played at the famous Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles
yesterday, the day before yesterday, and they will do it again tonight.
For the occasion, they debuted a brand-new song, named
ANOTHER HAPPY BIRTHDAY. A gripping bittersweet piano-driven
symphony with heavyhearted Smith vocals. Just wonderful.
Smith: “It’s harder to hold on / With every passing year / As the memories fade /
You slowly disappear / And your birthday is the worst day / I’m singing to a ghost /
Happy birthday / I forget how it goes”
Listen/watch.
